This commit introduces new stream protocols: bdnav(and others).
bdnav stream shares lots of codes with original bluray stream, so
it's not separated in different source file.
Major difference from bluray is that bdnav does not support longest
title because there is no way to query that information.
bdnav://menu and bdnav://first correspond to top menu title and
first play title respectively, though they often point same title.
Also, binary position based seeking has been removed, because it
didn't have no point.
This is probably ok. Probing could hit this case very often, since it'll
mean running this function on potentially binary data, but on the other
hand, probing usually uses a memory stream (to limit the amount of data
read), and memory streams have s->log silenced (details see
open_memory_stream()).
This simplifies the implementation and should make it more robust. For
example, we return an error if a line is longer than the provided buffer
(instead of splitting the line).
The code is much shorter, because now finding the new line and reading
characters is done in one go.
Streams like CDDA have special requirements in what quantities data can
be read: you can only read a sector at once, not more and not less. The
stream_peek() function didn't respect that and set less (used internal
buffer size of 2048 bytes, instead of CD sector size of 2352 bytes), so
no data was read and EOF was accidentally set, making playback with
cdda:// fail.
This is a regression since commit 9a723f, but that commit merely exposed
the issue (the redundant seek would clear the EOF flag).
Always pass around mp_log contexts in the option parser code. This of
course affects all users of this API as well.
In stream.c, pass a mp_null_log, because we can't do it properly yet.
This will be fixed later.
Since m_option.h and options.h are extremely often included, a lot of
files have to be changed.
Moving path.c/h to options/ is a bit questionable, but since this is
mainly about access to config files (which are also handled in
options/), it's probably ok.
The tmsg stuff was for the internal gettext() based translation system,
which nobody ever attempted to use and thus was removed. mp_gtext() and
set_osd_tmsg() were also for this.
mp_dbg was once enabled in debug mode only, but since we have log level
for enabling debug messages, it seems utterly useless.
On dvdnav, caching kind of works but not really. (Not our fault, at
least not fully. It's due to libdvdnav being slightly misdesigned; see
previous commit for some explanations.)
The TV code is implemented in the demuxer, and the stream implementation
is just a wrapper, so caching makes no sense here.
There was already something similar in the code that did the actual
seek, but I think seeking to the same position could still trigger an
actual seek due to weid interaction with the buffer.
This readds a more or less completely new dvdnav implementation, though
it's based on the code from before commit 41fbcee. Note that this is
rather basic, and might be broken or not quite usable in many cases.
Most importantly, navigation highlights are not correctly implemented.
This would require changes in the FFmpeg dvdsub decoder (to apply a
different internal CLUT), so supporting it is not really possible right
now. And in fact, I don't think I ever want to support it, because it's
a very small gain for a lot of work. Instead, mpv will display fake
highlights, which are an approximate bounding box around the real
highlights.
Some things like mouse input or switching audio/subtitles stream using
the dvdnav VM are not supported.
Might be quite fragile on transitions: if dvdnav initiates a transition,
and doesn't give us enough mpeg data to initialize video playback, the
player will just quit.
This is added only because some users seem to want it. I don't intend to
make mpv a good DVD player, so the very basic minimum will have to do.
How about you just convert your DVD to proper video files?
pthreads should be available anywhere. Even if not, for environment
without threads a pthread wrapper could be provided that can't actually
start threads, thus disabling features that require threads.
Make pthreads mandatory in order to simplify build dependencies and to
reduce ifdeffery. (Admittedly, there wasn't much complexity, but maybe
we will use pthreads more in the future, and then it'd become a real
bother.)
The configure followed 5 different convetions of defines because the next guy
always wanted to introduce a new better way to uniform it[1]. For an
hypothetic feature 'hurr' you could have had:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR / #undef HAVE_DURR
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #undef CONFIG_DURR
* #define HAVE_HURR 1 / #define HAVE_DURR 0
* #define CONFIG_HURR 1 / #define CONFIG_DURR 0
All is now uniform and uses:
* #define HAVE_HURR 1
* #define HAVE_DURR 0
We like definining to 0 as opposed to `undef` bcause it can help spot typos
and is very helpful when doing big reorganizations in the code.

Never check s->seek (except in init), because it'd have to check
s->flags anyway. Also, for fast skippable streams (like pipes), don't
set the bit that indicates support for seek forward.
Make sure s->end_pos is always 0 for unseekable streams. Lots of code
outside of stream.c uses this to check seeking support.
By default, libavformat uses UDP for rtsp playback. This doesn't work
very well. Apparently the reason is that the buffer sizes libavformat
chooses for UDP are way too small, and switching to TCP gets rid of this
issue entirely (thanks go to Reimar Döffinger for figuring this out).
In theory, you can set buffer sizes as libavformat options, but that
doesn't seem to help.
Add an option to select the rtsp transport, and make TCP the default.
Also remove an outdated comment from stream.c.
Until now, stream_peek() read only the bare minimum it had to read from
the stream. But this could cause problems, such as being very
inefficient when peeking a lot, or conflicting with ability to seek
back. (The latter issue can be caused by peeking a few bytes, and then
doing a stream_read() with a size that is 1 byte longer: this would read
the peeked data, then call stream_fill_buffer(), which throws away the
previously peeked bytes - so you can't seek back anymore. This is
mitigated by a hack in demux_open(): it peeks a full buffer, to avoid
that peeking/reading during demuxer probing [or before that, in a stream
filter] can cause the buffer to be dropped.)
Apparently, it is popular to store large files in uncompressed rar
archives. Extracting files is not practical, and some media players
suport playing directly from uncompressed rar (at least VLC and some
DirectShow components).
Storing or accessing files this way is completely idiotic, but it is
a common practice, and the ones subjected to this practice can't do
much to change this (at least that's what I assume/hope). Also, it's
a feature request, so we say yes.
This code is mostly taken from VLC (commit f6e7240 from their git tree).
We also copy the way this is done: opening a rar file by itself yields
a playlist, which contains URLs to the actual entries in the rar file.
Compressed entries are simply skipped.
Add a stream filter concept, in which streams can be opened on top of
an underlying "source" stream. Change the open code to make this
easier, and also to account for some mechanisms that will be needed
for this.
The following commit will add stream_rar, which contains such a stream
filter.
This is really not needed. While we really can't take a loaded buffer
over to the cache, there's no reason why the cache couldn't read this
buffer normally.
On the other hand, this code could cause trouble when probing from a
stream before the cache has been enabled.
The way the url_options field was handled was not entirely sane: it's
actually a flexible array member, so it points to garbage for streams
which do not initialize this member (it just points to the data right
after the struct, which is garbage in theory and practice). This was
not actually a problem, since the field is only used if priv_size is
set (due to how this stuff is used). But it doesn't allow setting
priv_size only, which might be useful in some cases.
Also, make the protocols array not a fixed size array. Most stream
implementations have only 1 protocol prefix, but stream_lavf.c has
over 10 (whitelists ffmpeg protocols). The high size of the fixed
size protocol array wastes space, and it is _still_ annoying to
add new prefixes to stream_lavf (have to bump the maximum length),
so make it arbitrary length.
The two changes (plus some more cosmetic changes) arte conflated into
one, because it was annoying going over all the stream implementations.
Modeled after the old playlist_parser.c, but actually new code, and it
works a bit differently.
Demuxers (and sometimes streams) are the component that should be used
to open files and to determine the file format. This was already done
for subtitles, but playlists still use a separate code path.
Instead of always skipping in STREAM_BUFFER_SIZE blocks, allow an
arbitrary size. This allows - in theory - faster forward seeking in
pipes.
(Maybe not a very significant change, but it reduces the number of
things that depend on STREAM_BUFFER_SIZE for no good reason. Though
we still use that value as minimum read size.)
stream_file.c contains some code meant for forward seeking with pipes.
This simply reads data until the seek position is reached. Move this
code to stream.c. This stops stream_file from doing strange things
(messing with stream internals), and removes the code duplication too.
We also make stream_seek_long() use the new skip code. This is shorter
and much easier to follow than the old code, which basically did strange
things.
So for example "file:///file%20name.mkv" will open "file name.mkv".
I'm not sure whether we want/need this. The old code didn't do it.
Also, it's not really clear whether this is handled correctly. It
seems the corresponding freedesktop.org "standard" allows a (useless)
hostname part, which we should skip in theory. The number of slashes
is not really clear either. We can open relative filenames (by removing
one of the slashes from the example above), which is perhaps an
unneeded feature. How does this even work with Windows paths?
This issues can probably be corrected later.
The URL unescape code is based on code from m_option.c removed with
a recent commit.
Move the URL parsing code from m_option.c to stream.c, and simplify it
dramatically. This code originates from times when http code used this,
but now it's just relict from other stream implementations reusing this
code. Remove the unused bits and simplify the rest.
stream_vcd is insane, and the priv struct is different on every
platform, so drop the URL parsing. This means you can't specify a track
anymore, only the device. (Does anyone use stream_vcd? Not like this
couldn't be fixed, but it doesn't seem worth the effort, especially
because it'd require potentially touching platform specific code.)
These were printed only with -v. Most streams had them set to useless
or redundant values, so it's just badly maintained bloat.
Since we remove the "author" field too, and since this may have
copyright implications, we add the contents of the author fields to
the file headers, except if the name is already part of the file header.
Stream implementations could set this to a unix file descriptor. The
generic stream code could use it as fallback for a few things. This
was confusing and insane. In most cases, the stream implementations
defined all callbacks, so setting the fd member didn't have any
advantages, other than avoiding defining a private struct to store it.
It appears that even if the stream implementation used close() on the
fd (or something equivalent), stream.c would close() it a second time
(and on windows, even would call closesocket()), which should be proof
for the insanity of this code.
For stream_file.c, additionally make sure we don't close stdin or
stdout if "-" is used as filename.
For stream_vcd.c, remove the control() code. This code most likely
didn't make the slightest sense, because it used a different type
for stream->priv. It also leaked memory. Maybe it worked, but it's
incorrect and insignificant anyway, so kill it. This code was added
with commit 9521c19 (svn commit 31019).
Untested for all protocols other than stream_file.c.
This removes the dependency on DEMUXER_TYPE_* and the file_format
parameter from the stream open functions.
Remove some of the playlist handling code. It looks like this was
needed only for loading linked mov files with demux_mov (which was
removed long ago).
Delete a minor bit of dead network-related code from stream.c as well.
Add this option, which lets users set the cache size without forcing it
even when playing from the local filesystem.
Also document the default value explicitly.
The Matroska linked segments case is slightly simplified: they can
never come from network (mostly because it'd be insane, and we can't
even list files from network sources), so the cache will never be
enabled automatically.
Commit 7b16d4b changed some stream implementations to check the buffer
size passed to them. This made stream_cdda stop working, because the
default buffer size is smaller than the CDIO frame size. So pass the
sector size instead of the (arbitrary) default buffer size.
Seeking to position 0 meant to try reconnecting with some streams,
actually just the internal http implementation. This has been removed,
so we don't need the special handling anymore.
This means we don't have to be stuck in a retry loop if the stream
doesn't even support reconnect.
This was an old leftover from an earlier cleanup (which happened in
2003), and which used "special" stuff for streams that could be only
forward-seeked.
Also, don't add mode flags to s->flags; they're supposed to be in
s->mode instead.
This was under CONFIG_NETWORKING, so in theory it should have been save
to remove. But actually this disables forward skipping when reading
from a pipe. (Still a questionable feature, because it doesn't behave
well with libavformat - but it was not supposed to be changed.)
This commit removes the "old" networking code in favor of libavformat's
code.
The code was still used for mp_http, udp, ftp, cddb. http has been
mapped to libavformat's http support since approximately 6 months ago.
udp and ftp have support in ffmpeg (though ftp was added only last
month). cddb support is removed with this commit - it's probably not
important and rarely used if at all, so we don't care about it.
